We would ask can we we help you and they say they are curious if there is a pool and other equipment. One even asked if we would sell our patio furniture. We just shake our heads and attribute it again tothe boldness of these people. So be aware you are not the only one that has people in your yard. However, there is NO shortcut here, just nosy busybodies wanting to look and feel it is their right to do so. LOL

You know, as I sit here and read this posting and the thread itself, I have to comment.
The Villages has changed so very much; we have been here since 2000; lived in a number of Villages' bought and sold a number of homes. I worked for The Villages and recall the day when we were called together for the announcement of the purchase of the land south of 466, which as long time residents know, was NOTHING.
One BIG THING that has changed is the manners of those moving here and those who visit. It just seems as if The Villages is not considered someone's HOME any longer....just a spot to visit for a bit, whether it be 5/6 months or a week or so. People will do what ROADDOG has described, turn around in our driveway, and in general disrespect the fact that this is our home. While the amenities are great, this place is HOME for us, not a place to get drunk, play golf, etc.
Perhaps it is just me, but folks sure seemed to have more manners and respect a few years ago. Maybe it is my age, but when I compare the lack of respect and lack of manners that I see here today, I worry a lot about the direction of everything.
Sorry...had to comment and if I offended anyone, I apologize. Just saying how I see it as they say !
